Ha ha mate.....yeah I agree to a certain extent, but the fact is I listened through this whole album last night on Spotify and whilst there were 2 or 3 worthy songs, for the main part it was pretty painful. Also some very boomy off putting production going on too. I doubt i'll bother to rate this to be honest but I reckon 60-65% at a push.
Just pretty average Euro melodic hard rock.
Fair enough, mate. Honestly, like I said, this isn't their best CD at all... a bit of a step back from their previous work. I can appreciate you not loving this.
But you reckon Shakra are any better, though? I can promise you that stuff like this, Edge, Diamond Dawn and Danger Angel all destroy Shakra, which I note that you spent time with. Honestly, to each their own. I would not begrudge someone from filtering their music so that only the best gets heard, but from someone who listens to a lot of stuff, I can assure that this is nowhere near the bottom of the pack in what's actually being released in the world of hard rock. As much as you may hate to hear it, bands like Shylock still make up the top approx 20% in the genre, imo.
I agree Geoff, I'm in the USA, and for me Bands like Shylock, Shakra and others are heaven sent. I will take an average album from these bands any day of the week over 90% of the American bands making music today in the States!!!
